I really love going to see a location before the shoot date. It’s like we get to meet for the first time and come with ideas before any other distractions. Plus I love to be prepared, even over prepared. 😂
Today I went to re-explore a local park in the right lightening, and it did not disappoint. Perfect shaded trees with lots of unique branches. A perfect dirt path lined modestly with trees. Im always look for the one spot of shade here. Maybe a bush to jump into there.. who knows. But seeing a location in the right light before the shoot date is very calming to me.
